Your Pet, My Passion. Always Loved.
Pet care experience
I treat every pet as if they are my own. I bring treats and dog ice cream with prior approval. I have bought dog beds in the past for ones I’m taking care of so they can sleep just as comfy. I walk them and play with them outside multiple times throughout the day. Even on a busy schedule, I make sure they are my first priority. I have bathed pets without needing to be asked. I make sure they have the proper amount of time outside to use the bathroom and play. I bring new toys on occasion and play with them, not watch them play. I am always involved and interact with them. I treat every pet as if they are my own. Always loved and cared for and given the proper respect. Your pet, my passion. I will send plenty of pictures to you during my stay of your happy pet!

Marina was the absolute best while watching my dog for 2 weeks. I could not have found a better person to take care of my dog because she really treated Marshmallow like her own and provided me with a lot of comfort by sending me a lot of pictures. My dog normally goes on trips and vacations with me, so it was hard leaving her behind and I was worried about how much she would miss me, but I honestly think she didn’t miss me very much at all because she had so much fun with Marina. She really went above and beyond taking care of Marshmallow, and the house. She kept the house cleaned and did more than I expected, and I could tell Marshmallow was getting a ton of attention, play time, and walks and was being spoiled with toys and other goodies. I would recommend Marina to anyone and would hire her again in a heartbeat.
Marina goes above and beyond what you can expect when caring for your pet! She gives full attention and love, and treats them as her own until you’re home. She took care of my cat, I don’t think he missed me at all when I was gone. Haha! Marina made sure she followed my instructions on feedings, and cleaning of his litter box. She picked up the house without asking. She played with my cat and cuddled up with him. He is my baby. She made my trip much more at ease because she provided me with plenty of pictures. Best feeling when you know your pet is not only taken care of while your gone, but they’re loved as you love them. I highly recommend Marina. No one else out there like her!
We have used Marina multiple times for in-home dog-sitting and couldn't be more pleased! She is the first person we ask when we need to go out-of-town. Marina is a true dog lover and treats our dogs as her own. She even calls them her babies, and sends pictures and videos every day of the two playing together and generally looking cute! She is warm, caring, and responsible, among other outstanding qualities, and has become a friend of our family. She is also happy to take care of other things like watering the garden, bringing in mail, and always makes sure our home is neat and organized for our return. I am grateful to have found Marina and give her my highest recommendation!
Marina has been a great sitter for our 2 pups. She loves dogs and they adore her. She has watched our girls several times and will be our first call in the future.

I don’t like to board up pets if I am there, they should be free from stress while you are gone. So, you can enjoy the time you’re gone as well. But, I fit the needs you have so your pets routine isn’t too abrupt with the change in placement with me. Sometimes I will use dog diapers instead of crating them up unless that is what you prefer. That would normally be provided by owner. I do plenty of outside time and walks as well. I may only crate them if that is your preference when I am not there or time for bed. Owners preference.
Information Marina B. would like to know about your pet
Please let me know if your dog has any special needs or behaviors that I need to be aware of prior to meet and greet and stay. Do they have anything they love to comfort them while you’re gone during my stay to make them more comfortable. Thank you!
A typical day
There would be plenty of walks. New routes to go so they don’t get bored and stay stimulated. I would be running right along with them! Playing tug-of-war. Of course fetch. Playing with water hose outside. Fun bath time. And more!
